Lebanon Democrat Letter to the Editor

A constituent sent me a letter he wrote to the editor of the Lebanon Democrat on the Eddie Vedder incident...it is a great letter!Another great Bonnaroo draws to a close with multiple drug busts, and an out-of-state musical pundit lecturing one of our representatives in absentia like a school marm scolding a naughty child. Since many of the festival attendees are also from elsewhere, I'm not sure how effective Mr. Vedder's efforts will be to undercut support for Rep. Lynn's very reasonable efforts on this issue. The wait-and-see tactic coupled with the pending multi-state lawsuit against DOJ and DOE are mature actions that might prove more effective than theatrical tirades in addressing this matter of bathrooms.

I am indeed incensed over this latest eruption that is actually a new front in the "Culture Wars" which have allowed a tiny minority to lead the mainstream of society around by the nose. This relatively small number of people are shaming and bullying what has become a very malleable and complacent society into tolerating things that had generally been condemned for eons. Now we are expected to waive senses of modesty that are as much innate as they are dictated by sacred writ. For grown and properly cultured adults we are now required to undergo a new form of potty training. Enough!
